This is nonsense.  There are at least three buildfarm machines running
compilers that do not "pretend to be gcc" (at least, configure
recognizes them as not gcc) and are not MSVC either.  We ought to have
more IMO, because software monocultures are dangerous.  Of those three,
two pass the "quiet inline" test and one --- the newest of the three
if I guess correctly --- does not.  So it is not the case that
!USE_INLINE is dead code, even if you adopt the position that we don't
care about any compiler not represented in the buildfarm.
